" It probably doesn't have an uninstall option either. "
HAHA! Too funny.
As for the shelf time from gold time... I know a few weeks is a *long* time but I am sure companies/publishers have been trying to shorten this time for years. Supply Chain Management is serious business... minimizing distribution paths is a difficult science... if there was a way to make this shorter, I am sure they would have found it by now.
An alternative method is to do away with the publisher, set up a big FTP site (or let the Fileplanet/Shacknews whores host the game), set up a pay cart system and have people download directly from the Net.
Alas, this business model has been tried and has failed... it would be sweet though.. because Gold would equal Distribution.
We would be playing Unreal 2 right now if this were the current method of distribution. Think about it, the gamers get the game 3 weeks earlier, they pay less since there are significantly less "publisher costs" and www.gheyplanet.com and www.whoreshack.com get the downloads they want... everyone wins!
Althought the publishers wouldn't be too happy about it.
Unfortunately, the internet isn't ready for this distribution model yet... maybe in 10 more years... it has been tried numerous times before the Dot Bomb era and failed... only time will tell...
